About Bistro MD

Bistro MD was founded by a doctor, hence the MD. Dr. Caroline J. Cederquist M.D. stands behind the belief that losing weight isn’t just about reducing calories. The doctor was the founder and director of the Cederquist Medical Wellness Center and is a board-certified bariatric physician. This demonstrates her level of commitment to the world of weight loss. The idea behind Bistro MD is that people’s hectic schedules can cause them to make unhealthy eating choices, which, in turn, damages their chances of successful weight loss.

By using dieticians, nutritionists and professional chefs, the meals are scientifically designed to help promote weight loss, while still being healthy and delicious. It isn’t just about how much is on the plate; it is about what is on the plate. The system has gained popularity and recognition thanks largely to television coverage. According to their website, Bistro MD has been seen on NBC, the Biggest Loser, Dr. Phil, the Doctors and Lifetime Networks.

The Diet Plans

There are four different meal plans to choose from, and you can opt for either the five day or full week long plans. These can include snacks, or not, and can also be customized. Whether you have allergies, religious preferences or foods you just don’t care for, your meals will be planned around this. What you get with Bistro MD are physician-designed meal plans.

The meals are cooked by professional chefs and then shipped to your door. Heat up your meals, eat and watch the pounds come off. This means you get all the benefits of healthy eating, without cooking, calorie counting or cleaning. The meals are prepared fresh, frozen and then delivered by Fed Ex so that you receive your food at the peak of its freshness.

The Bistro MD Menu Selections

The idea behind the meals at Bistro MD is that you shouldn’t have to go without good taste to lose weight. Many of the menu items are surprising, but pleasantly so. The menu selections are divided by breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. So, for breakfast, you will see items such as mixed berry crepes, cinnamon sweet potato pancakes and even stuffed French toast, for those with a sweet tooth. If you would prefer to leave sweet out of the equation, try the spinach and ricotta crepe, spinach and mushroom omelet or the chicken and mushroom crepe.

Lunch offers an even wider variety. There’s the bacon cheeseburger meatloaf, grilled chicken pesto and lasagna rollatini with sides such as broccoli, carrots or string beans with almonds. The snacks will help you get through the time between lunch and dinner and provide some tasty, and healthy choices. You can get chocolate pudding, peanut protein bars and mini blueberry cheesecakes, just to name a few. Finally, dinner offers choices like BBQ pork, beef tips and jerk tilapia.
